Jeff Green's potential impact in 2012-13
f
Green had an aortic aneurysm, which was found when an abnormality surfaced during a stress test right before training camp in December. Green had his operation Jan. 9, It was a dark feeling that reminded us of Reggie Lewis. The fallen Celtic legend. Jeff has been a solid NBA player, but for so long Green was playing out of position. When the Celtics traded our beloved Perkins. They had intentions of Green playing either the three,or four. Green never panned out for the Celtics in 2011, regardless of the position on the court. Green was always the third fiddle in OKC, and his role went even further down the line in Boston.
Green has potential to be an all-star. Will he live up to that, it's very unclear at this point.
Green was a disappointment in 26 games during the 2010-11 season, averaging 9.8 points, and much more was expected of him this past season. He was going to be the young, athletic wing player who could help the Celtics run a more up-tempo style while taking some of the burden off Paul Pierce.
Instead, after agreeing to a $9 million deal as a restricted free agent last December, the heart problem was found. The Celtics voided the contract and instead of keeping Green a restricted free agent, allowed his status to become unrestricted. I still feel confident that Green will excel. I think you have to be cautious with the checks, when Green hasn't been a factor for the Celtics. Green will be ready, or at least appear ready. If Green works out, than the Celtics have a player that will work great with Rondo, and the focus should be on Rondo and co. I think Jeff can provide a shot in the arm. He may become that all-star with Rondo finding him. Can Jeff turn it up a notch, and become more aggressive. I don't know, but I hope he does.

We shouldn't pay big money to anyone we don't really really want. If no one fits that bill, then we should just fill out the squad with cheapies. We should NOT tie up any big money with the Brandon Basses and Jeff Greens of the world. Or the KGs for that matter. I'm sick of players demanding waaaaay more money than they are worth. I was on the players side during the lockout, but that doesn't mean I like their demented money demands.
This same team that claimed they couldn't afford Perk is going to dish out big bucks now to marginal talents and has beens?
I hope not. I don't want to see big money dished out for anyone other than the likes of Josh Smith. If it's not someone we want to see at Rondo's side for years, then forget 'em and go for cheapies.
As for the folks apparently playing hardball with us right now, I say we should turn our backs on them. Some of them have drained our resources for far too long already.
